The reduction system for the disposal of the city's garbage Is what the wo men's clubs of Portland want, and they r-oint out many, things in- its favor. It la claimed that the results obtained by. Incineration, as at present' operated here, . are not satisfactory; that tha ashes contain mora or less vegetable Matter -that is but partly carbonized. Also It is claimed that the burners at the crematory cannot do their work properly because the heavy loads are dropped from a height sufficient to pack ond smother the fire, for garbage Is a poor conductor of heat, and if packed closely has no opportunity to- work through Interstices. The reduction system obviates, it Is claimed, the drawbacks named in the present Portland cremation system, for dryers are used and everything is sub jected to Intense heat before being dumped into the furnace. In this man ner tha fires' are never smothered and full capacity results may be obtained. The reduction system sterilizes all bits of garbage that may be sold, and herein lies the great saving of expense, either to the city or to 'whoever owns the plant. , At present everything is burned, for there Is no sterilizing ap paratus, and the mayor and city officials will not permit the selling of any garb age. - ',--, t With the reduction system, it is claimed, the cost of operation could be reduced to such an extent that the city would have to make but little, if any, appropriation Sot It- SECOND ANNIVERSARY ' OF LIBRARY'S BIRTH Thursday afternoon at i 4 o'clock a telebration of ihe second anniversary of the establishment of the free public li brary will occur by the children In their department under the direction of Miss Harriet E Hassler. .

King Edward was Slow to succumb to the automobile craze, but apparently It has now taken a strong hold on 'him. "According to the Motoring Annual for 1904, Just is sued, the king owns seven cars, five of which are English and two of German make.. The best of the English cars is his majesty's : t2-horse-power . private pleasure car, a magnificent vehicle in which he only drives his most Intimate friends. The largest of the cars has a eating capacity for 16 persons and is used by the king to convey shooting parties to the coverts. mm Stops the COUGH and Heals the For Sale, by .

Of the ordinary else it is equivalent to two . shiploads and shows the enormous growth. of the coastwise trade. In a most convincing manner It also explains the reason that Portland's export business has so great ly decreased this season. From San Francisco the wheat is-shipped to for eign, markets, but Portland does not get the credit for it, ... It is added ta the ex port business of the Bay City. - The Aurella is bow In port-loading. Her cargo will be furnished , by the Northwestern Warehouse company. The Prentiss, Aberdeen, Redondo and Leg gett are en route up the coast and Vill be loaded by the O. R. ft N. - Their ag gregate cargoes will amount to 4,300 tons. The average-sized sailing vessel that comes up the Columbia river hss a carrying capacity of about 2,100 tons. Hence the steam schooners 4 going 'to San Francisco - this week will take out fully two shiploads of wheat .Local exporters state that so far as the outside world is aware it would be just as well for Portland not to have this trade. The Importance of the city, they explain. Is estimated by the size of its export trade. The coastwise busi ness is not taken into consideration. Theydeclare that the city is also a heavy loser . in a pecuniary sense by these big shipments being sent down the coast. Kvery ship that comes in here, they affirm, represents a looal dis bursement of at least $5,000. The im portant factors contributing to this big expense account are towage in and over the bar, towage up. the river,, stevedor ing, repairing and Incidentals. On the other hand, they say, the steam schooners coming in and out of here do not add a dollar to the wealth of the clty Their repairs are all made In San Francisco, the exporters say, and they are also provisioned at the same place. "To put it in a nutshell," said one of the exporters this morning, "they drop in here and load, and that is the end of them.' They carry the grain to San Francisco, and from there it Is shipped to Europe. The California me tropolis gets all the credit tor it, but In reality it belongs to Portland." Considerable grain also -finds its way to Puget sound -over the Northern Pa cific, of which no local record is kept If all these coastwise shipments were made direct from Portland, it is said that her export trad would be greater than those of all other Pacific Coast ports combined.

MAY BE HEIRS TO VALUABLE ESTATE : ' r :.?.- ' v--i 'a :' .' J ; V ?.: . ; ; Prosper Picard's, Grandfather Who Died Half Century Ago Left Fortune No Estimated : Worth as A brief, investigation by Attorney Isaad Bwett in behalf of Prosper Plcsrd and the other heirs of the estate left by Joseph Plcard, who died in this city 62 years ago, convinces him 'that in stead of approximating $1,500,000, the estate is, now worth somewhere In the neighborhood of 13,000,000. It consists largely of Canadian government bonds and other securities and large tracts of land in the province of Quebec. ?i . Joseph Plcard died at the old Catholic mission In' Portland in 1862 or 1853. An examination of the records at the county courthouse- did not yield any di rect information, but has put the search-, era in- the way of ascertaining what they desire. Tor instance, It twas dls covered yesterday that at Vancouver, Wash., are the records of the old man's death, and they will be copied Immedi ately. Whether or not Picard obtained possession of' any property .after "he came to Oregon has not been found out up to this time, and a careful search of the records will be necessary. There are 12 heirs 'to Joseph Plcard's estate, all' living in Umatilla county, Oregop. Many of the children were born in Marlon county, and their parents died years ago. The records of Marlon and Umatilla counties will be examined to get proof of birth,' blood relation, and other necessary Items, . before the' real work of securing 'the vast estate is be gun. ' .

"There never has been any intention on the part of the government." said Major JLingfltt yesterday, "to send the dredge to San Francisco to hs.ve the worli done there. That would require too much time. The contemplated re pairs can be made in two or three weeks and the dredge will lose but' little more time than she would by remaining at the mouth of the river. . Until the middle of April or the first of May it will be im possible for her to keep in regular com mission at the bar. Hence, compara tively little. If any, time will be lost. ' "While at the navy yards at Mare Is land there were 14 patches! put on the boilers. ' Some of these began to cause more or less annoyance shortly aftT the dredge s arrival at the mouth of the river. 8ome of . the patches- are still all right but four of them in particular require attention. By having the work done now I concluded that more time would be saved .than to be bothering with them the way we have during the past few weeks. -The dredge can easily be put in thorough order in time for the summer's work, which will soon open." USED CINDER PILE v FOR GARBAGE DUMP Special Officer A. Caswell yesterday swore out a warrant in the municipal court against a vegetable wagon driver named Hobyat, charging him with dumping garbage on the city's cinder pile. Hobyats is said to have been seen drive his: wagon, , which was . full of spoiled vegetables, 'to the cinder pile In, me eany aawn -or sunaay morning, quickly dump the garbage, and start away, as he was discovered. Hobyats, seeing that he had been discovered. drove Sway rapidly and warned the other vegetable men on their way to the cin der pile to turn away as they would.be seen.r v , .. - ' . Mr. Caswell said that a number of veg etable wagon drivers and expressmen have been in the habit of driving out to the cinder pile early Sunday mornings, and dumping the refuse they had gath ered. . The "special officer aald that the garbage men have been getting the blame for a great deal of the work done by 'the express and vegetable wagon men. Preferred Stock Canned Goods. Allen & Lewis' Best Brand. LUNGS 'J28S2& CIKNOOI HERE $3,000,000 - what my investigations -confirms," ' said Attorney . Bwett, "I am convinced that the recovery of the estate is only a ques tion of 'time and expense. It appears that about 52 years ago Joseph Plcard, the grandfather of Prosper Plcard,' and the other heirs? came to Oregon. lie owned a large estate, consisting mostly of Canadian government' bonds and tracts of land in the neighborhood of Quebec. The old man died In Portland and was burled at the Catholic mission, where his bones rest today. :: We have Just ascertained that the records are at Vancouver, Wash., and we shall ; obtain them without loss of time. '"v; "There are 12 heirs of the estate, all living in Oregon. From present ' indi cations careful research wtll make it possible within a few months to get the exact location of the realty and trace the bonds. Then active legal proceed ings can be begun. , ' , ,. "It Is strongly probable that the es tate la now. worth 12,000,000 or $3,000, 000. - If property -we know nothing of now, such as Oregon property, should be discovered, it will doubtless amount to the higher figure and may slightly ex ceed it. The records so far examined prove beyond the shadow of doubt that Prosper Plcard and his brothers and sis ters are the. heirs to the estate. They eve have In their possession an old family Bible with a number of records of births and deaths in it, which will give us valuable assistance at the out set." This dally "saengerfest" ss the pris oners are pleased to call It, Is looked forward to with keen appreciation by the inmates of the jail.. The "kangaroo court" is called each evening arid the judge formally delivers his Instructions, after which the quartet sings until the time limit expires. - ' . With -fine ' irony the quartet never omits one..song f'My Country, Tls 1 of Thee.'? The word "liberty" is usually given! a- lighter stress of voice than the rhythm-requires. . And, showing the mood of the prisoners, "Auld Lang Syne" has 'been chosen as the song marking the end-of the evening "saengerfest."
